The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is a reality show that truly took the world by storm last year. With season two officially here, we can expect a lot more drama, many more scandals, and countless more ounces of soda (it’s a Utah thing).
Season one made TikTok celebrities out of its mumfluencer stars and gave us all a snapshot into Mormonism – which is full of more infidelity and partying than one might expect. Read on for everything you need to know about seasons one and two, and how to watch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in New Zealand.

What is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives about?
Featuring the founding members of #MomTok, the reality TV show follows a group of modern, religious mothers from Utah.
A 2022 TikTok scandal kicked the show off initially, where Taylor Frankie Paul announced she was getting a divorce via TikTok Live.
On the same live, she also revealed some salacious information about her friend group. She alleged they participated in “soft swinging”, which refers to couples swapping partners but not engaging in penetrative sex with them. Taylor divulged that she went “all the way” with someone, which ultimately resulted in her divorce.
This bombshell revelation led to a lot of online speculation over who else from the group could have been involved. It also sparked plenty of controversy as they were all practising Mormons who tend to hold conservative and traditional values.
Following the livestream, Taylor claims she was “shunned” by many of her friends. Regardless, she maintains that “no one [is] innocent” in her view.
Season one followed the aftermath of this TikTok scandal, with Taylor attempting to reunite the #MomTok friendship group that fell apart.
In addition to the soft swinging drama, there’s also an arrest and plenty of arguments. Why not throw some accusations of infidelity in the mix, too.
Who is in the cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
The cast members – including Whitney Leavitt, Jenn Affleck, Mikayla Matthews, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, and Demi Engemann – also grapple with their Mormon faith and become divided into two groups: the Saints and the Sinners.
The “Saints” uphold more traditional practices (hello, trad wives) within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They wear garments, attend Church regularly, and don’t consume alcohol or caffeine. Meanwhile, the “Sinners” are more progressive and discuss scandalous topics like sex. They drink alcohol, and start to rebel against the gender stereotypes that exist within their homes and relationships.
Now, the ten episodes of season two are set to shock, having landed on 15 May 2025. And if you needed any more reasons to be persuaded, there’s even a shocking appearance from ex-MomTokker Miranda McWhorter!

Will there be a season three of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
We hope so! When Hulu renewed Season 2 in October 2024, they signed on to 20 more episodes. That means there are 10 more episodes, whether they form a second part of Season 2 or make up a brand new season. Watch this space.
